God Can Please Himself

I can't be thinking of what others think I have a life to live Or do I? Should you always think of what others think? You can't afford to If you always think of what others think You would be crippled - literally You can't move You can't talk You can't think God did not make you like that He made you autonomy That means you think for yourself Do for yourself And ultimately please yourself You can't please God You can't please others You would surely fail The only one you can please is yourself Because you are reasonable perfectable, tolerable Only to yourself Actually every word in the dictionary that ends with able That is who you are You are so above all things - irreproachable That only you would know! So please yourself That is the foremost You can't please others And surely you can't please God Because as God said "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags..." (Isaiah 64:6) "We all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away" (same verse) So you see you can't please anyone - except you And if you can't please yourself That is when you run into trouble You would be so miserable Not because you can't please others But that you can't please God Because God is an extension of yourself God comes first Don't get me wrong But if you are not happy No one is happy - not even God God did not make you like a robot sacrificing yourself in order to please Him God made you whole - a full person - full of life and feelings - full of capacity, probability - full of spectra of tenderness - whatever you are capable of God made you so So don't deject, reject, eject - the one person who can ultimately bring happiness to you That is yourself So don't, okay? You need you I need you God need you Find out what you want And go for it God won't mind
